NPS Students Apply Graduate Research to Real-World Fleet Challenges During RIMPAC 2026

A team of nine NPS students across several departments and programs traveled to RIMPAC 2026 for an invaluable opportunity to take their graduate education and research from the classroom into the operational environment. Supported by nearly a dozen faculty and researchers, the NPS team advanced several student/faculty driven research efforts, working directly alongside fleet operators and industry partners during the world’s largest international maritime exercise.
